Titleiiredneck, must have responded while I was typing the other response.
The other 200gr+ bullets I use are the Hornady 220gr RN as mentioned and Lapua's "subsonic" and D166. All three shoot pretty good out of the 799.
I've used H110 in the past due to the high number of suggestions. However, I was getting a fluctuation in velocities with it in my initial tests so I decided to keep that for my 454 loads. I might try it again in the near future to see if I can figure out the problem.
The slowest "heavy" subsonic I have loaded with good results was 6gr of trailboss under the Hornady 220gr RN. It sounded like a Large CCI CB rimfire...a nice POP instead of a POW. It's been awhile since I shot those and I don't want to misquote myself, since I can't find my notes, but I recall they were well under 1000fps and I could see the bullet fly down range and hit the target.
On another note about powders...have any of you tinkered with the Vihtavuori Tin Star powder? I haven't seen any locally yet.
